Black Friday isn’t just for retail – deals to be found in hotels, restaurants, events and more!

 

When you hear ‘Black Friday’, you immediately think of retail stores experiencing a mad rush of customers flocking in to get the hot deals prior to the holiday season. The last two months of the calendar year are primarily when stores turn their profit for the year.  

After a slow 2020, consumer confidence is slowly rebuilding, and everyone is gearing up for a return to spending. However, Black Friday is no longer just for retail stores. Everyone has gotten in on the Black Friday marketing push, and as a result, deals are popping up everywhere, from airfare, to restaurants, bars, hotels and any hospitality venue.  

Here are some Black Friday deals we’ve hunted down in anticipation of the chaotic day to come. 

Booking.com – 30% off stays worldwide  

Booking.com is one of the most popular travel sites in the world and they’ve expanded their Black Friday deal by offering travellers 30% off worldwide.  

The deal runs through 1 December and the deals are valid for stays with checkout dates from now until 30 June, 2022.  Whether you’re just looking for a staycation for the holiday season or are craving a winter getaway in 2022, you can save a lot of money by booking now. Booking.com’s deals are available on their Black Friday deals page.  

As a little bonus, Booking.com is also offering 20% off on car rentals. 

Mr & Mrs Smith and Six Senses 

Boutique travel club Mr & Mrs Smith and Six Senses have teamed up to offer an exclusive Black Friday deal to Mr & Mrs Smith members. From 25-30 November, members can get up to 40 per cent off Six Senses hotel stays in locations from Brazil to Bhutan.  

Trips can be booked right up to the end of 2022, with the exception of a few blackout dates. If you happen to be a member of Mr & Mrs Smith, you definitely don’t want to miss out on the opportunity.  

LastMinute.com deals go up to a whopping 70% off 

LastMinute.com.au’s Black Friday deals are only available up to 30 November, which takes us a little past Cyber Monday. With the deals they’re offering, it’s unlikely many will be waiting long to book. LastMinute.com’s deals go up to 70% off and the site offers getaways not just to the Asia-Pacific region, but to North America and the United Kingdom.  

Holiday stays in Thailand tend to yield the highest savings, but there are plenty of stays in Australia available at around 30% off. There’s no shortage of choices if you head to LastMinute.com now.   

Wrapping up 

With more and more of the world reaching a certain level of normalcy, many are eager to resume their pre-pandemic travel habits. There’s no better way of doing that than by taking advantage of deals like these as they come.
